Trailer: The Lone Ranger


Yesterday, the poster.  Today, the trailer.  And I'm pretty sure this is the one we saw in Hall H this year at Comic Con.  Again, it's obvious that Tonto is the star here and we're gonna get all kinds of Kimosabe buddy-buddy humor as Depp trains the white boy in the ethics of vigilanteism.

The Lone Tonto Poster


I dig this poster, even if it firmly establishes Johnny Depp's Tonto as the hero of this supposedly revisionist Western.  But unlike the Parker situation, my deep seeded desire for a Western genre resurgence allows for a little more wiggle room.  Plus, outside of a few Joe Lansdale comics, The Lone Ranger has never really quite worked for me.  At the very least, I won't condemn this outing until I see that Comic Con trailer one more time.  I remember thinking it looked pretty badass, but my nerdvana memories are fading a bit.  The below stills definitely have my curiosity, and the Monument Valley shot even gives me a couple goosebumps.
